Vegan problems

This post was ispired by the lovely youtuber Kiera Rose

As a vegan I went though some ethical problems and annoying questions, so here's a list of my top 5 vegan problems.

1. When friends and family are not vegan and you have to struggle with the food they maky for you.
Let me explain. People I know usually understand what veganism is, but I can't avoid people arking if I can eat fish or cheese and the answer is NO I DON'T and I DON'T WANT TO.

2. Most of the people call vegans "maniacs" because we care about the quality of food and we read the ingriedients before buying something.
Personally it is something that freaks me out because caring about our health and about what we put in our about is not obsessive behavior, it is natural.

3. The B12 vitamin. I think the most annoying question is about vitamins. You would talk about animal right and health, but the only thing people can mention is your supposed shortage of B12.

4. Something I have to deal with is finding good avocados in the shop. In most of countries where veggies and fruit like avocados, mangos and papayas need to be imported the quality is not the best.
When I travel abroad and I eat incredibly delicious veggies and fruit is like christmas.

5. Recipes. In the last few months I discovered how easy to make and delicious are vegan recipes.
Being vegan is also eating healthy and being aware of your body and your soul. Internet is such a good source of information and new recipes to try, I recommend as a good vegan community the app VeganAmino where everyone can share tips and homemade recipes with the vegan community, incredible how useful is!
Let's try new recipes and feel comfortable with food!

That's it, after this short list make sure to subscribe my channel (Greenish Minds) for new videos about veganism, self-love, travel and dreadlocks (the channel is growing up, more videos soon, help it to grow).

Spread the vegan message and spread your happiness all around!

Why I started this blog

After a few posts I wanted to talk about the reasons why I started this blog.
"I was not used to happiness", this is the reason, not that obvious, so let me explain.
I spent most of my life struggling with my dissatisfaction and my pessimism so I've lost a lot of wonderful things from my teenage years: the first kiss, the first trip without parents, hanging out with friends all night. These experiences just flipped away and one of my biggest regrets is I didn't enjoy them, I didn't find any beauty in what I did.
Luckily, better late than never, I realized there is such plenty of beauty in life.
I started taking care of myself, studying more and appriciate everything life would give to me. I kept my eyes opened and I discovered what being a child feels like, so everything around me looked new and magnificent again.
Nowadays I find almost everything which surround me incredibly stunning and it makes me really happy.
We are close to the end, don't worry.
During the last years I joined many communities (vegan, for the animal rights, volunteering, artistic...) which welcomed me with joy and let me feel at home, so I had an idea: why not create a HAPPY COMMUNITY.
A "place" where people can share their passions, what makes them happy.
I'm also thinking about starting a youtube channel with the same aim, interviewing everybody want to share something which makes him/her happy.
I would like to share with you a quote from one of the most touching movie I've ever seen: "Happiness is real only when shared" (Into the wild).
Let's share our happiness and let's be happy together.

Please, If you read this post, comment below (anonymously too, I don't mind, but do it). It would mean a lot for me to read what you think.
Thank you so much.

I am a vegan smoothie lover!

I LOVE smoothies, they are nutritious, delicious and colorful.

Today I'm sharing with you two of my favorite summer smoothies and one of my vegan ice cream recipes.

1.

Ingredients:

• Frozen bananas
• Carots
• Apricots
• Peaches

This smoothie is fresh and sweet.

It is perfect for a busy day or physical activities.

 2.

Ingredients:

• Frozen bananas
• Melon
• Apricots
• Peaches

This smoothie is so orange!

Personally, I consider colors a big part of eating food. It may be childish, but I'm more attracted to colorful food, eating a colorful meal I feel satisfied physically and also mentally.

Colors make me happy.

Banana ice cream

Ingredients:

• Frozen bananas
• Peaches
• Cocoa powder

In addition:

• Oatmeal
• Pumpkin seeds
• Chopped flaxseeds
• Melon

It taste so delicious!

During the summer, I mostly use peaches, melon, apricots, watermelon because in my country they are very common and they are seasonal fruit.

It is very important to use seasonal fruit because they are in their optimal state, ripe and full of vitamins.

In my opinion what really matters is being aware of where the veggie come from and how they have been cultivated.
